Chili Con Carne - recipe
Chili Con Carne is a great Mexican dish with ground beef, spices, and other ingredients all in one bowl. In my case this recipe was enough for 2 people and 3 servings. Ingredients (2 people for 3 servings) 2–3 onions 3 cloves of garlic 2–3 carrots 1 piece of tuber (about 200g) 1 small red pepper 1 green pepper 2 hot peppers 1 large can of peeled tomatoes (800g) 4 tablespoons of oil (sunflower or olive) 500g lean ground beef 0.5l beef stock or 0.25l stock + 0.25l strong red wine 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, or if you don’t have it crushed thyme 0.5 tsp sambal oelek or some chili paste 1 tablespoon Chili Con Carne spice mix 0.5 tsp salt 0.5 tsp freshly ground pepper 1 can of white beans (400 g) Preparation Halve the pepper, remove the stalk with seeds and chop finely. Chop the peeled carrot, peeled tuber, garlic, onion and hot pepper (without stalk and seeds). Place a large and heavy pot on the stove and heat the oil in it. Add the meat and fry until it darkens, then add the onion and garlic, stir and fry it further for a minute. Add the carrots, tuber and pepper, fry for a minute and then add the tomatoes with their juice and cook for another minute, stirring occasionally. Pour in the beef stock or wine, season strongly with thyme, hot paste (sambal oelek), chili con carne spice mix, salt and pepper. Cook, cover and simmer slowly in its own juice at medium temperature for 1-1.5 hours until all ingredients are soft. Rinse the canned beans in a colander, wash them in water, strain and add them to the pot together with the sliced hot peppers 15 minutes before the end of cooking and simmer slowly covered. Finally we must definitely taste the dish and improve it to your taste if necessary and especially spice it up! At the end you can add in it sour cream. Bon appétit :).
